| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- SO...WHAT NOW? Losing to Shuugo by a hair is a big loss to the water polo team, and it seems that Shuugo's own backstory with water polo also influenced his present behaviour from his competitive brother who also does sports that are better than him in every way, the closest being swimming. Some of the water polo seniors from a rival school (Shogakugan High) came for a look, and as much as Minato's amnesia goes, it's a memory that doesn't Re-Main. But a push is all that's needed to give Shuugo the choice to help the water polo team...because of his brother (Riku Momosaki), what a coincidence for a team ace. And that completes the 7-man team for them to commence training. The Yaoi fans are always brimming for the small onsen squeeze heat session of the boys from training in the pool, and Jou's idea of participating in a competition comes as no surprise, so getting involved in a practice match for the newbies to get things going. The first time that we're seeing their neighbours: Rikka Academy's water polo team rivals, and just a glimpse for a start. These 3 guys sure look like they're gearing for a fight, and Shuugo has every bragging rights to believe based on Riku's experience. So it's not them they'll be competing with, but a junior water polo team, and seeing their exhibition match against Minato and Co. for a start with Chinu. You guys have a lot to do to avoid being trashed by mere young kids who are on a caliber higher than yours. This ain't looking good... |

| Well, at least Amihama has joined the club when he heard about his brother. That was really quick. We finally start to do some practice with the ball and in the water to get ourselves ready. Everyone's working hard for this and trying to figure out stuff. But, now their next goal is to get their first win. And, by the looks of it, it's gonna be hard for this rookie team who's facing a junior team and still they're having a hard time. It'll be interesting to see how this goes in the next episode. Either they'll have a comeback or they're gonna get destroyed by little kids. |
 |
| AAAA Not gonna lie, I didn't expect that, I thought they'd come up with something stupid to get him to join, but I am surprised :o It's getting interesting, training and the first game is starting Although this is if you win, they call you a bully and if you lose you're humiliated. So far it doesn't seem to be going well :c |
| "Re-Main" .... now that we know the title's meaning, i feel really bad for the guy who struggled so hard to think of an english word play but could only come up with this weak lame pun. |
~my list
| Damn he lost, that was close. Well, after overhearring the Senpai's conversation Amihama changes his mind and joins the club. With the only reason in mind; to defeat his brother. And THAT brother is actually Minato's former teammate, Riku. That was big suprise. Second half of the episode is a practice match. Not against the ''Hokurine Three'' or something but against grade schoolers. And the first goal goes to them. Things are not looking good. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Another questionable episode Amihama's story felt really nonsensical. If his brother started playing water polo, you'd figure Amihama would want to join the water polo team to have a chance to defeat him, but he doesn't but then changes his mind once his brother shows up? I'm starting to question what direction this show is trying to head towards. After watching episode 1, I honestly thought this show was going to have more of a serious tone, with focus being on Minato's amnesia. But ever since then, I feel like this show is more of water polo mixed with poorly written gags and jokes. When it comes to minor sports x comedy mix, Shakunetsu Kabaddi did it better. |
| oh shet so the main title is just a pun Also, I really hope this series doesn't go the Ahiru no Sora route where the team loses every single match they play. Maybe this first one against the kids ig |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Well, we finally understand the title. I thought they'd be playing women not boys. That match filled me with dread. Part of me is hoping for that old Hollywood device to cure amnesia, a hit upside the head. |
| This ain't looking good indeed, they're about to get clapped by kids lmao. Pretty good episode. I really thought Amiami's brother was dead, but when he said he just switched to water polo, I had a feeling his brother would be one of Minato's teammates. That's one way to convince the man to join, he really gave up on beating his brother because all the other water polo teams are shit lmao. They are getting clapped by kids, but I guess it's not really unrealistic because I assume the kids has more experience while our team pretty much has 0 experience even if they're physically superior. |
 |
| Okay, I didn't like how the last dude joined the team like that but the realistic fact that most of the members of the team that never wins didn't show up made up for that. Also them fighting a junior high is way more realistic. I really like this fact as well. Good episode, it's clear to me that they're going to learn a lot from this game, good luck to them |

| What. So Amiami’s brother is Yuuma’s character. Stepbrothers....? Should have guessed, they have the same great looks & such sexy hair. Also wtf they made it so dramatic I thought he died......lol I really love the character designs, their hair all looks so great. And Chinu is seriously such a babe she’s gorgeous. Their bonding moment in the bath was so cute. And all of them chewing Babayaro‘s chocolates while going thru the game plan lol!!!!! CUTE Finally some action in the water. And so quickly, they are taking part in a practice match. Didn’t expect the match to be like this, but then again, I don’t think they would beat the junior team either. If only this were 2 cour would have loved a more in-depth, good old training arc. OP & ED are soooo good I can’t get enough of them every week♡ |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Its a fairly good episode. The art was more consistent than last time and, even though there was quite a fair amount of CG, it was decently made and it was to be expected to happen eventually. Happy to finally see a match, and its against some kids lol and fact that they might lose to the them is pretty funny, but i doubt it will happen ahahah. |
| Amihama should be more careful with his words because I seriously thought his brother was dead lol. Well, it seems this show is slowly finding its path after a somewhat so-so start. Decent episode overall. The part with the boys having some bonding time in the bath was particularly sweet. As sweet as Baba's entire existence ♥ |
| that is so humiliating! only on the part where the juniors win the first point but it is gonna be much more humiliation if the Junior team won the whole game...hahaha 4/5. |
 |
| Oh man, it will definitely be interesting to see the outcome of this match between Yamanami and Mizushima |
| losing to pre schoolers when you're in high school ...... mc still has an excuse i guess since he's mentally a 6th grader but come on guys😭😭 |
Hilarious! When the mc didnt get the ball everyone, and I mean EVERYONE was like |
My Candies:              |
| That black haired guy being Amiami's brother was actually quite predictable. When those three from Shogakukan showed up, I was like “I'm sure that guy will turn out to be Amiami's brother” The children had 1 goal. Jojima shouldn't have moved so forward away from the goal post. Since one hand has to stay in the water, he can't use both hands to block so moving away from the post gave him a disadvantage. I can understand how it feels like when you miss to block a shot from a kid. But since Jojima never played a match with other team before so those kids are actually quite experienced compared to Jojima. |

| i find it better/funnier that they're playing the kids lmao some of their faces at the beginning of the match were hilarious also amiami |
 |
| Perhaps trashtalking the team wasn't a good move seeing how they lost a point to the team full of grade schoolers. Not sure how accurate this is to actual water polo but nice to see some basics explained here. |
 |
| Such a small world ha? Amihama's brother was the team mate of Minato! "Ha?!" indeed. The way his brother talked about Minato was the catalyst that made Amihama to join the team, since he now has a second chance to compete with this brother. It makes you wonder how on Earth Amihama did not know Minato when he was both famous and the team leader of his older brother's water polo team. Then again Amihama never explicitly said that he did not know Minato, did he? He just said that they were in the same class when they first spoke ;) How are you going to fare against those little boys guys? I suspect they are going to wipe the pool with you :) |
